Context: In spite of the development of cross-sectional medical imaging and endoscopy means, the prescription of specialized radiographic examinations is still relevant in the pediatric environment in our country. Objective: Show the contribution of specialized radiographic examinations performed in pediatric settings. Methodology: This was a retrospective descriptive study implemented over a five year-period, from June 10th, 2014 to June 10th, 2019 within the radiology department of Charles De Gaulle Pediatric Teaching Hospital in Ouagadougou. This study included the results of 192 specialized radiographic examinations collected within the concerned department. Results: The average age of the patients was 4.21 years with extremes of 8 days and 15 years. Infants (29 days to 24 months) were the predominant age group with a rate of 53.13% (n = 102 patients). Boys represented 76.51% of the sample with a sex ratio estimated at 3.25. Specialized radiographic examinations represented 0.46% of the overall imaging examinations and 0.72% of radiographic examinations performed during the study period. 67.19% of pathological examinations were reported. Colonic enema and retrograde urethrocystography (RUC) were the most performed examinations respectively accounting for 33.34% and 27.6%. The radiographic findings were consistent with the diagnostic hypotheses in 41.6% of cases. Conclusion: Specialized radiographic examinations keep their place in the exploration of several pathologies in pediatric settings.
